Katerina Mini Dress

This dress leans into a structured, architectural silhouette, utilizing the crispness of poplin to hold the volume of its flouncy, tiered skirt. The bodice is cut straight across the chest with thin, adjustable straps, creating a sharp contrast between the fitted upper torso and the exaggerated, playful sweep of the hem. It is a study in proportions, favoring a high-contrast shape that feels rooted in modern party-wear.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of a cotton/elastane blend, but the inclusion of a polyester lining—a petroleum-derived synthetic—downgrades the overall biocompatibility. The use of synthetic polymers in the lining can trap heat and perspiration against the skin, limiting breathability during extended wear.
